I use these daily (I have several)7 days a week sanding "green" wooden maple bowls that I sell on my website. This is a great replacement for air tools, when it's too cold to use them. These don't "freeze up", have plenty of torque, and get the job just as good as air driven sanders.

I am the #1 site for "handmade wooden bowls" and have been making bowls going on 26 years and have used Porter Cable sanders for many years. I have tried several other (air and electric) and currently have about 12-15 sanders. The Porter Cable d/a's are the best I have used so far for sanding green wood (bowls are made from green wood as I mostly use manual hand tools)... only down side - you will end up using the warranty repairs if you use it often.

This Porter Cable 7345 5" sander is the best sander I've ever had .I had the first one for over 20 years it will work on any project and never quit . The only thing that wears out is the pads they have a shelf life and fall apart after a few years .The reason I bought a new one the adjustable speed went on it and they didn't make a replacement part for that . Other than that this is a great tool to have in your shop.

I've been buying Porter-Cable products for many years now. They are well-balanced and well made. I find them durable - being able to survive a drop on the floor, etc. They have all been a reliable addition to my tool collection.

I use this product to sand freshly cut maple after I finish chopping it out to form a dough bowl, and even in "green" wood it does a great job and does not bog down. It is a much more reliable product than the model that it replaced.

I have been using the 3.7 amp random orbit sander for maybe 20 years or so. Seems like I have always had one. This new one is pretty heavy. Great for large flat areas. I do a lot of curved surfaces and it is a little heavy to run around a tubular shaped piece of wood. Good quality!

We have a log home with T&G wood walls on the interior. To refinish either of these, need a good RO sander. Have worn out several over the years with remodeling projects. This one looked to be like the ones we had 20 years ago when we built the house and had to sand all log walls, which lasted for years and finally gave out. We had destroyed several other sanders in the last few years - just couldn't handle the vertical angles or extreme use. Although heavy and no way to control the dust, it works and uses less paper to do the same job. For what we needed, this is the best I've found lately. Have also had good luck with Porter-Cable products.
